Loved it. A little short though. I loved the fact there was a shadow version of certain scenes. I just felt the shadow versions could have had more to do in them. They felt a little bare. Over all, very visually appealing and very unique. This is on the short list with the potential of being one of the greats but just fell a little short.
I recommend this game!

This game was crazy short. The collectibles were way too easy. I was pretty disappointed. I've seen some good Maestro games in the past, so I was expecting much more. Very predictable storyline/ending.

The game is way too short and i unlike any other Mystery Tracker's Game. It doesn't even feel like it fits the franchise. Something must've happened to the designers or something. Graphics weren't up to par. Very, very disappointed this franchise has taken this turn. It feels like they just threw something together to get something released. Bad move.
I don't recommend this game.

I LOVED LOVED LOVED how many screens there were and that using the items was spread out quite a bit. However, toward the end, I started to feel like the just needed to get the game done. (Deadline maybe) I ant to say again I HATE HATE HATE when games trap you between a few screens and then make you finish them before moving on. I love that there were 4 levels, I just feel things could have been spread out more toward the end. As long as you have a map to help you if you need it, I say SPREAD IT OUT!! Just don't force everything into a few screens at the end. It's so disappointing. Maybe open the whole game to us except just a few doors at the end? Anyhow, the story was okay, the games were cool, I like the challenge of the mini games, I only skipped one I didn't understand. I say bravo! Still looking for that one to knock my socks off!
I recommend this game!

I was actually surprised that I was very disappointed in this one. It's one of those hidden object games where the hidden object scenes have more than one of the named item in the scene. Specifically a scene that had numerous spider webs. I don't like that. It makes it impossible to win all the badges. I do like how they spread out here things were hidden and used, but they kept you from moving on and I wish it were more like the games where you use pieces throughout 10 boards instead of being trapped in 4 rooms until you finish all the puzzles.
I don't recommend this game.

This games is not for adults. It's definitely for kids. It's very frustrating as well. You have to click right on something and often you're clicking right on it and it says you're not. You end up moving on and wasting time and going back.
I don't recommend this game.

I was seriously disappointed this was one of the top rated games. Graphics are old fashioned, You try to click something and it tells you you're wrong or goes into cut scenes you don't want over and over again. I didn't even finish it.
I don't recommend this game.

This game had a lot of the "different" mini games I know I've been asking for. Some were a bit too difficult, and I skipped them, but I was glad to have a different kind of mini game to work on. It was long too. I loved that. I loved how the map marked if I had found the collectibles. I also liked how things I found in one room sometimes weren't used until several screens later. This is my favorite type of adventure/hidden object game. Bravo!!
I recommend this game!

This game provided the most new, unique things to do than I have seen in a very long time. I was very pleasantly surprised. It's definitely worth buying! The storyline could've been a bit better, but all in all, one of the best games I have seen in awhile. Bravo!
I recommend this game!

I don't normally do reviews, but this really compelled me to. The game really brought a lot to the table. we've been asking for things we've never seen before and I really feel like the game did a lot of that. I just wish the graphics were a bit better. While it did bring the new stuff to the table, it didn't quite feel like a labor of love. It felt more like one of many being cranked out. I still recommend this game because it's fun! It just fell one star short.
